Footnote (of the "It's a Small World" variety)

Today I was in Kingston and dropped my wife and her mother off at the shopping mall to look around while I went to do the same at Pickers' World. While browsing the market, I came across a young lad with an older Brooks saddle sitting in his showcase. I asked him if he had any other bicycle items for sale. He thought about it, then said he didn't, but said there was another fellow there who dealt in bicycles who might.

Above is an artist's sketch, as it appeared in the company catalogue, of the H.A. Lozier plant established in 1895 at Toronto Junction.

OK I haven't found any great bikes lately but....

I do have a cool Kijiji story.

Found this shot on flickr. Its of Larry's Cycle and Sports in Sudbury, Ontario. Look at that line up of vintage bikes out in front! Unfortunately there a bit too small to identify any.
